 Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more >>

Help on Brahms variations on a theme by Paganini
on: July 25, 2005, 03:31:24 PM
Finally done learning the notes for the brahms variations on a theme by paganini, both books...  Almost the whole thing is up to the speed now..., several barriers though...

two variations that i cannot overcome, please help
first... book 1 variations 8... can anybody actually play this at performance tempo??  it would seem to me that there's NO time to aim for the octave... for other pieces with lots octaves we can just follow our senses of where the keys are which most of us can do very well, but this is beyond that speed such that there is no time to "sense"... obviously i only have time to take care of one side and one side only, would you suggest the left or right...

second... book 2 variation 7... well, in the large picture it's a simple 3-to-4... but with the music written like that.... i'm overwhelmed... HELP...
